Dreams of Innocence
Chapter XXVIII: Questions, Answers and A Punch in the Face
After twenty-minutes of waiting, all the duelists joining the tournament had arrived on the plane and settled in. Yugi was seated beside Anzu, double checking his deck, when all of sudden a shadow hovered him and his cards. Blinking, he looked up. A huge smile broke on his face as he recognized the figure hovering over him. "Hikari!"
Anzu, hearing this, slid her headphones off to hear properly and adjusted herself in her chair to see. Peering over the edge of Yuugi's seat was a girl. Long, black hair hung over her shoulders. Anzu noticed red streaks streaming down the black locks and the energy in the bright, violet eyes. The girl giggled.
"Hey cuz!" she answered, patting Yuugi on the head. "How's it goin'?"
"I didn't know you were in tournament!" stated Yuugi in shock.
Hikari shrugged, saying, "I had won a contest. And the prize was to be a duelist in this new tournament."
Smiling at them, Anzu turned back to her music, sighing. They would taking off any minute now.
I wait.
That's all that can be done.
From my prison within this card, I watch.
If only I could find her!
How I crave freedom, but not at the expense of those mortals.
Curse my master!
Alas, it is up to my counterpart to find her.
A low growl reached my ears.
;;Be patient Osiris;; I speak gently.
This portion of the Realm of Shadows is closed off from all other monsters. Only the six of us remain here. But one of us gone.
Where is she?
Where is Ma'at, Judge of Heart?
A/N Okay, I just want to stop for a second here to explain somethin'. Hikari is Nadia's character. Since she helped me out earlier with finding the God Cards online, I let her design a character to have a mini-part in this story. And yes, I've been working on the contest! I have the CD case all designed, printed and put together. I just have to get the CD together and then finish writing the quiz. I'm trying to find a third prize, so that there will be the Top 3 winners. Oh, 'nough of my rambling. Read this story while I go and try and steal a copy of The Order of the Pheonix' and then cry about *censoring*'s death! *sniffle* WAAAAAH~!
Where am I?
Where is Obelisk? Where are the others?
This isn't the Shadow Realm! Where am I?
OBELISK! ISIS! HATHOR! HELP ME!
Oh no...oh dear no!
The priestess! She's near by! I can sense her! Her power!
And...and...he's here too! This cannot be happening!
The prophecy! It's coming true already!
Freedom cannot come at the cost of mortals!
Stop, please! Let me go to the Shadow Realm! Let me go to them!
Rowan listened as the captain of the plane requested that everyone turn off all electronics and such. Sighing, she stared out the window, out into the night. Her mind kept on wandering back to earlier events. Even just thinking about it upset her enough to send shivers up her spine.
"Rowan! Your purse moved!"
"Huh?" Rowan and Mokuba had gotten back to Kaiba Manor from their afternoon out. Her bag lay on the tbale where she then too notice it stir. Curious, she reacvhed over, picked it up and held it upside down. Out came everything: wallet, brush, tampon, change, scorpion-"Holy shit!"
"That's a scorpion!" spoke Mokuba, voicing the somewhat obvious.
Jumping back and dropping her bag, Rowan stared in complete horror. "How the hell did that get there!?"
Shivering, Rowan closed her eyes. It was lucky enough Mokuba ahd managed to beat the thing to death. Still to that moment she wondered two thigns: if Mokuba was being brave or just stupid for actually trying to kill it and also: why was that scorpion in her bag?
"Things are beginning to get intertesting," spoke Pegasus as he stared into the sky. Beside him was Cyndia, leaning her ghost head against his shoulder.
Why do you say that? she asked him.
"I have just recieved a message from Otogi-boy," answered Pegasus. "He is too, an avatar."
These avatars seem to be springing up like daisies, haven't they? giggled Cyndia.
"Very true," agreed Pegasus with a chuckle.
"Oh for Ra's sake, stop moping," growled Marik.
"Shut up," growled Malik.
Watching his hikari, Marik frowned. Ever since the phone call from Anzu a half-hour ago, Malik has been sitting on the couch, staring at a blank TV screen. He had only released Marik because there was no one but himself around that he could abuse.
"Get your ass off that couch," snapped Marik. He narrowed his lavender eyes, growning. "and call that Ra-forsaken girl! I have never seen you act like such an ass!"
"And you don't?" retorted Malik.
"What did Isis tell you that made you like this?" demanded Marik suddenly. Malik's response was silence. "I know she told you more than about that damn tournament."
"Go away."
"Not until you tell me
what the hell is bothering you!"
"I said go away!" shouted Malik, jumping up. he faced his spiked-hair yami, furious. "I don't need you butting into my life! You've done enough damage already!"
"Eh?"
"Don't play stupid!" snapped Malik. "Because of you and your influence, my past is screwed up beyond repair! Remember that duel!?"
"Which one?" Marik asked innocently. "There have been so many..."
BAM!
Stumbling backwards, Marik stared at Malik, hand over his cheek where Malik ahd punched him.
"You know which oen you asshole!" Malik growled dangerously. "The duel between Jou and the pharaoh! It was set up so that there was no way anyone could get out of it!"
"That one? Oh yes...the one where if anyopne dared to interfer, Anzu would have been crushed by that metal crate?"
"Yes, that one!"
"Whatever Isis told you, it certaintly has pissed you off."
"You're the one pissing me off!"
Marik studied Malik. Both of his fists were clenched, preparing to punch him again. In his eyes, Marik noticed pain and sorrow, anger and defeat. Isis must have really shaken him up. And for once, Marik did something he had never done. Ever.
He turned away from the upcoming fight and said only this, "You need to calm down. Sit down and think about what you're doing."
Malik stared, in utter disbelief as his yami left him in the living room. Blinking, Malik relaxed his fists and stood there in defeat. Then, closing his eyes, he sat down heavily, burying his face in his hands.
"Miss Ishtar?"
Isis and Shadii turned to see one of Crawford's servants standing there. "Yes?" she replied.
"You have a phone call."
"A what?" repeated Isis, shocked.
"Hello?"
Marik narrowed his eyes as Isis came on the other end. "Listen, I want answers. What the hell did you tell my hikari that ahs him so shaken up?"
"And one more thing dear brother."
"What?"
"Something has...happened."
"What has? Are you okay?"
"I'm still not quite sure to an answer for that. But I fear it may happen to you."
"What will happen?"
"Come to Golden Isle and I will tell you."
"But, what about Marik?"
"I'm sure he can be handled."
"..."
"Malik, you msut be careful. if what ahs happened to me happens to you...I'm afraid then that your yami will be nearly uncontrollable."
"What?!"
"You must keep out of contact with everyone, except for myself. Including Anzu Mazaki."
Malik was silent at this.
"I've noticed your feelings for her changing in this past week. And with this upcoming danger, there is a very likely possibilty that you would endanger her life. You must stay from her. Just until this danger is overcome."
"I don't know what your talking about sister. What feelings?"
"Malik..."
"Look, I'll see if I can get to the island, but I can't make any promises."
"Very well then."
~~~~~~~~
I hope that answers the question of why Malik is depressed! ::sweatdrops: And I just watched the first part fo Joey's Betrayel, so I wanted to fit that in the chappie. And he punched his yami! wahoo! Malik is on fire! XD Well, 29 will be postponed until I get things under control now that summer is here. The next part will be questions that you want to be answered! Email me them or leave 'em in the reviews and I'll post the answers next time! You have until...::looks at her calender:: Friday, July 4th. And hopefully, the Q&A thing will be up that weekend. Now, off to work on Engima! X3 Otogi get's exploding dice in it! Mwah-ha-ha! ~Mae Crawford
